for the nba to remove the sterl sterlings is scheduled june 3rd. they want this to move quickly so they can resolve it between now and then. the lawyers are very, very busy. or not so busy. thanks very much, brian, for that report. let s dig deeper right now. joining us is jeffrey toobin and lj granderson. does it look to you, don, as if the sterlings have blinked? i don t think so. i m very skeptical about this, wolf, about him turning ownership over to her because i m always looking for the angle of the out. what happens if they say, okay, legally he doesn t own the team anymore. you said it first that this only applied to donald sterling and now that she owns it, we don t need to go through these proceedings? i m a little bit skeptical about this. i don t think the nba, and they have said as much, is going to
lj granderson, gail salts and bri brian, thank you. you re going to hear why the president is defending malaysia s investigation into the missing flight 370. that is coming up. at your ford dealer think? they think about tires. and what they ve been through lately. polar vortexes, road construction, and gaping potholes. so with all that behind you, you might want to make sure you re safe and in control.
to clear the decks in advance of other divisive issues coming next year, like immigration reform, but senior house republican sources insist that s not the case. this is just a situation where the speaker was genuinely upset and it boiled over in front of the cameras. dana bash, cnn, capitol hill. i am joined by cnn commentator l.j. granderson, and veto. welcome to both of you. let me start with you, first. do you think this is an indication of a big rift within the republican party, or is it just boehner upset with outside groups? well, i think it s a little bit of both. i don t see anything wrong with having vigorous debates within a party. in fact, it s refreshing, and it may actually help us find solutions going down the road. with that being said, this rift, as you described it, really kind of started with john mccain when he secured the gop nomination
democrats. anna, he s got his work cut out for him. the president is going over to capitol hill. he needs to, don. this is not looking good. i think they lost a lot of momentum. there s over 100 congress people that have already announced they are no votes. he needs to win it. he needs to get his democrat base back onboard. he needs to play the loyalty card. he needs to make the case himself. i think this issue on susan rice, frankly, is petty. at this point she is the national security advisor. se is talking on behalf of the president of the united states. i think that s her role. frankly, the one that must change hearts and minds of congress and the american people is president barack obama. l.j., the representatives said the credibility here goes beyond just this syria crisis. what do you make? do you agree it goes beyond the syria crisis and there is a
city with me is l.j. granderson, a cnn commentator. good to see both of you. congress officially gathers in washington at 2:00 tomorrow, but a key republican who supports the president on syria says the administration is actually losing support and he says the white house has credibility problems that go beyond the current crisis. part of the problem was, they started today or last week. they really needed to start two years ago on this process and really haven t done it. they don t have strong relationships in congress. this tells you the relationship with congress. it s not great. susan rice to brief congress on the year anniversary of benghazi. and they are trying to win votes. the credibility gap there is huge. okay, guys. cnn is just learning that president obama is going to go to capitol hill on tuesday and make his case to senate
